Well Detroit has been paying Hudler almost 3 mil a year to play soft so if we don't get Parise or Suter Holland will be under pressure to do something. 6.7mil for another ghost in the playoffs is not what we need though. I like the signing of Gustavsson.

Canceled plane flight of the Redwings leads me to believe that Parise has either agreed to play with Detroit or we are out of the running. If we don't hear something soon I would guess Detroit is out of the running.

Ray Whitney agreed to terms w/ Dallas Stars at $9 million over 2 years. It is $4 million salary and $500000 in bonuses each year. #TSN

Damn.... were the 'Yotes just not in a position to offer up that kind of cash? It doesn't seem too crazy a contract for what he provides. I mean, sure, he's 40, but 2 years seems reasonable...

/I guess they had to do something for points now that Ribeiro's gone

Well, they're kind of tied up with the ownership situation not closed yet. That's why Doan hasn't been resigned yet (but let's be honest, I have a better chance of winning the lottery than the Coyotes have of losing their franchise player).

I was just hoping that maybe the team could reach agreements with players and not sign them until things are closed (most likely by the end of the month).
